Despite a volatile 2015 for global equity markets, the International Fund has delivered consistent outperformance over the year, securing a 1st quartile ranking over 3 and 5 years. Nick will speak on his regional, style and sector preferences for the upcoming months as well as discuss a number of key additions to the strategy

The Asian High Yield market provided relatively attractive returns in 2015 despite broader macro concerns, rising idiosyncratic risk, and diverging global monetary policy. As a lower duration, income oriented asset class, Asia high yield is still offering a premium versus global HY markets and other fixed income asset classes. Please join Bryan as he presents an update on the market, his outlook, and the Fund’s positioning.

In this webcast, Matthew Sutherland, Head of product Management for Fidelity’s Asian equity franchise based in Hong Kong, gives his regular quarterly update on Asian macro and markets. This timely update in the light of this year’s volatile markets addresses what is happening in China’s stock and foreign exchange markets, as well as the underlying economy. It explores in some depth an amazing transformation that has already taken place in the Chinese economy. It reviews regional market performance and concludes with some fund ideas from the high-performing Asian equity fund range

​Global equities saw their sharpest falls since the financial crisis today after Chinese markets were hit by the biggest one-day fall since 2007. Volatility has increased since China devalued its currency earlier this month.

Dominic said: "I think what we need to recognise is that, unlike some of the previous crises we have seen in recent years, this one is starting in the emerging world. Country after country has been devaluing against the US dollar and those devaluations are in response to a weaker economic growth within the emerging world. Now, equity markets are effectively catching up with that message of slower economy growth across the emerging markets.

"I suspect we are already halfway through this current selloff. It is definitely not a good moment to sell and I suspect, looking at where the London Stock Market is this morning and where the US market is likely to open, that by year end we will probably be at higher levels than we are today. I think this is a time to hold your nerve."
